chapter 48

Jon motioned for Lexie to go out with
him. He took the steaks that were waiting for the grill. Lexie
carried out two glasses of wine and watched the barbecue master at
work.

“Did I hear what I thought I heard?”
He asked as he put the steaks on. Jesse had foiled the potatoes when
he brought Jake and Romeo back from the park.

“Depends on what you heard.” She
said as she sat and sipped her wine.

“My daughter is playing us. You know
something I don't and you aren't telling me.” He sipped his wine
and gave her a look.

“I told her I wouldn't and that I
don't like being played.” She told him.

“Okay, I'll accept you promised, but
being played? Can you explain that one to me without telling me what
you promised not to tell.” He went over and sat at the table with
her. Reaching out he took her hand.

“Jon, you have to see, you were only
here two days and she calls me to come up.” She laced her fingers
with his. “That kind of hate doesn't go away in two days.”

“Well we talked for two days, she
knows she can't go to her mom's, that escape route has been
permanently closed.” He told her. “I have to tell you, I was
shocked she had you come up here so soon. I'm glad she did, I really
missed you, it wasn't the same without you here.” He smiled.

“Jon, that kind of hate does not go
away in two days. She has an agenda and I put my foot down I told
her if she doesn't come clean I am leaving Sunday.” She waited for
him to blow his gasket. She knew he was famous for his Sicilian
temper.

“Sunday, no that can't happen.” he
told her.

“It's up to her Jon, I will not back
down.” She told him. “This has all been her show all along.”

“You think she has a little help with
this?” he asked her getting up to flip the steaks.

“Oh I know she has.” She laughed as
she told him.

“Jess warmed me, he said Sally told
him some things. I guess I got played too, he had me snowed.” Jon
dropped his head a little. “He seemed so different from the boys
she dated at Polly Prep.”

“Well she has til Sunday and if she
doesn't come clean I will be gone Jon. Snow and I will be back in
the city when you get back.” She gave his hand a squeeze and
motioned to the steaks. “You don't like well done.”

Jon jumped up for the steaks Lexie went
back in and got the plates out and started setting the table,

Jesse had gone to pick up Sally, Lexie
liked her right away. She seemed more excited to be having dinner
with Lexie than sitting at the table with Jon Bon Jovi.

They were sitting around the patio out
back, Jon had gone up to check on the boys in while Lexie and Sally
talked.

“So Sally, tell me about Mark.”
They were sitting in the swing with a glass of wine in their hands
and talking quietly.

“We dated and I wasn't out of the
city he had moved on. Everyone told me to watch him when we started
dating, I wasn't listening to them. He's a user and a player.” She
sipped her wine. “I told Jesse that he should watch him with his
sister.”

“Oh, I think Jon and Jesse will be
keeping a better eye on her.” She swung in silence a little. “So
you know I am happy we got this time after all these years of talking
online.”

“I am too, When Mr Jon came in with
Romeo I was like star struck but not like I was to meet you.” She
laughed a little “I feel like I know you like a sister.”

“I feel the same way Sally.” She
reached over and gave her a hug.

Jesse walked out and smiled. “Hey
you two, if Sally and I are going to go out we better leave now.”

“So you and Jess are going out? Well
well.” Lexie gave then the googly eye. She always thought Jesse
acted older then he was.

“Yeah, there is a band playing that I
want to see and I happen to know one of the band members.” Sally

laughed.

“Band hum, are they any good?” Jon
asked as he came out of the house.

“Pretty good, the guitar player is
pretty hot.” Sally informed him

“It's always about the guitar
player.” Jon laughed and rolled his eyes.

“Why don't you two join us, we can
get a table in the back.” Sally offered.

“Sounds like fun, you want to go
Lex?” Jon asked

“Jon, who would watch the boys?”
Lexie uncurled herself out of the swing.

“Why not ask Steph, Dad” Jesse
asked then it hit him oh man I'm going on a double date with my
dad.

“Let
me see if she has plans.” Jon went back on looking for his
daughter but stopped half way up the stairs oh man, I'm
going on a double date with my son.
Jon laughed as he went on up to Stephanie’s room. Raising his hand
to knock her heard her talking to Mark.

“I can either
tell my dad, we were late the other night or Lexie will go home.”
She griped.

So that's it, she blew curfew and
Lex caught her. Okay little girl we'll play this out, until Saturday
night and then I put my size twelves down.

He knocked on the
door.

“Steph, you got a
minute?” He called from the other side of the door.

“It's my dad,
hang on,” She walked over to the door and opened it. “Sure daddy
what do you want?”

“I'm thinking
about going down with Lexie, Jesse and Sally to listen to the band, I
need you to listen out for your brothers.” he asked as he stood in
the doorway.

“Sure daddy, can
Mark come over while you all are out?” She asked.

“I really don't
think that would be a good idea,” Jon started, but then after what
he had just heard maybe keeping them close he could watch them
better. “Maybe for a while, I want him gone at eleven,”

“Okay daddy,
thanks.” She ran over and hugged her dad and went back to the
call. “Think you might want to come over and help me watch my
brothers?”

“Sure Babe, they
have to go to bed sometime.” Mark was already making plans for
little miss Bongiovi.

“Bad thing is you
can only stay until eleven.” she told him.

“That’s doable
Blue eyes.” He smiled eleven, midnight daddy and his woman will
stay out later and I can sneak out.

“See you soon.”
She said.

“Give me ten and
I'll be there.” He hung up and grabbed his keys and left.

Stephanie came down
to see her dad off.

“Not later than
eleven Steph, keep it under control no other friends.” he helped
Lexie with her jacket as they were walking out the door he turned
“Don't forget to watch your brothers.” He laughed.

They were out the
door about five minutes when Mark pulled in the drive.

“Parental unit
gone, let the party begin.” Mark said as he walked in.

“Yeah he's gone,
but no party, My little brothers are still here.” She told him as
she noticed he had his cell open.

“Just two other
couples, you want to be friends don't you?” Mark asked her.

“Well sure, we
have one more week. But, He said no other people.” She told him.

“He's gone to
hear that band at Banshee I can call Sam and tell him your dads in
the audience and get him up on stage to sit in a set or two, then
we'll be gone by the time he gets home. No harm to foul babe.” He
still had his phone in his hand.

“Okay but
everybody has to be gone by eleven I mean it I am not going to get
in trouble over this.” She gave him the Bon Jovi stinkeye.

“I promise Babe.”
He just smiled and she melted.

They got in as
guest of Jesse and Sally and were given a table in the back. Jon
ordered Jess and Sally sodas and him and Lexie the house wine. The
band was setting up when they got there and Jon took the time to look
around the bar. There was a nice size dance floor with a stage for
the band. He remembered what it was like playing the small clubs.

“Bringing back
memories?” Lexie whispered in his ear.

“Yeah, long lost
memories.” He whispered back.

Jesse and Sally got
up and went out on the dance floor. Lexie was tapping her foot to
the music and bobbing her head. Jon hid his smile behind the rim of
his wine glass. He wasn't surprised when a young man asked her to
dance. When she turned to look at him. Jon told her to go dance. I
knew this would happen, how do I tell her I don't dance. I can shake
my ass on stage and strut like Jagger, but dancing was a non Jon
activity.

As they walked back
to the table, they were joined by a few of the band members. They
had been told that he was here. Who let the cat out of the bag, I
know it wasn't Sally, had to be Mark. Strike two apple dude.

“Man it's a honor
to have you here tonight Mr Bon Jovi” the young man he would later
know was Sam, not the hot guitar player.

“Sally told us
about the band and we thought we'd come hear a little of your set.”
Jon shook the man's hand, praying that he'd take the hint that they
were here to hear them not him.

“Sally's a fan of
the band.” The second young man had his arm around Sally.

“Only because
I've known you since we were in diapers, Greg.” Sally laughed.

By the sparkle in
her eye, Jon could tell that there was a little more to the
relationship between Sally and Greg. Poor Jess, he doesn't stand
a chance with Sally, she's got her heart set on a guitar player.

They talked a
little then the band ran up to take the stage. They were pretty
good, a little rough around the edges, sort of on the lines of a
Maroon 5. Sally was right on one thing, the guitar player reminded
him of a your Sambora, he just didn't the sex faces yet.

Jesse had Sally out
of the dance floor, he know Lex wanted to dance. He prayed they
would play a slow song. That way they could just hold each other and
sway.

He was lucky the
next song was a slow ballad and he looked over and Lexie and held out
his hand to her. “Want to sway?” He gave her a sexy smile.

They just got up
and stood in the corner by the table. He knew the words and sung them
softly in her ear.

Jesse looked back
and noticed his dad and Lexie were dancing, well dad's style of
dancing, come to think of it I never saw him and mom dance. Maybe
they did at those political dinner things they went to, but I doubt
it.

“Think they'd be
ready to leave?” He nibbled her ear.

“I doubt it,
we've only been here an hour.” She shivered from his warm wine
scented breath and the sensation of his teeth on her ear.

“Think they have
a bathroom that's a one seater?” He moved to her neck.

“Jon.” She
shivered again.

All of a sudden the
song changed and he thought he heard one of the bands songs up beat.

“We have a really
great rocker here with us tonight I wonder if we can coax him on
stage to join us for a set.” Sam announced

Jon groaned and
looked at Lexie.

“I gotta go up
there.” He groaned in her ear.

The spotlight found
him as he went up on the stage.

He got pulled into
playing the whole set and it was nearing midnight by the time he left
the stage,

“You looked good
up there” Lexie told him when he came back to the table.

“Thanks, I tried
to get off the stage but Sam kept talking me into another song.”
Jon downed his wine,

“I'm sorry Jon, I
didn't bring them over to meet you, well I didn't want Sam to meet
you just Greg.” Sally apologized.

“It's okay Sal,
but I hate to be a damper on the party but I am ready to go.” He
stood up and took Lexie by the hand.

“Let me go say
Goodnight to Greg and we can go.” Sally told them.

As she walked off
Jesse finished his drink and got up.

“Dad you know you
love the spotlight.” Jesse laughed.

“But I'm on
vacation Son, even the ice cream man takes a break from making ice
cream when he's on vacation.” Jon said as he helped Lexie navigate
around the tables that had been moved to increase the dance floor.

“Why, I'll see
him when he gets home or in the morning when he wakes up.” Sally
told her.

“You two live
together?” Lexie was a little shocked. She had gone out twice now
with Jesse.

“Yeah, I have
since he was born, he's my Brother.” She laughed “You didn't
think, Oh Lexie”

The two girls
laughed over the moment.

They dropped Sally
off with a promise of shopping and lunch in the next few days and
headed back to the cabin.

“I wonder how
things were while we were gone.” Jon thought out loud.

“Know Steph, we
weren't out the door long before she had company.” Jesse humphed.

“I told her she
could have him over, but gone by eleven and only him, she still had
to watch the boys.”

Jon informed them.

Lexie thought, the
two of them alone in the house with just two young boys as chaperones
not good. But she kept her mouth closed.

The house was dark
when they pulled into the garage.

“Looks like all
quiet on the home front.” Jon sighed.

The smell of over
sprayed floral with an under tone of cigarette smoke. Lexie went
into the kitchen to check the dishes, they were done stacked on the
side of the drain. Even the trash was taken out. She shook her head
and heard Snowballs nails on the floor and went to take her out.

“I'm going to
take Snow out.” Lexie told Jon. Heading out the front door she
watched Snow sniff the air and take off around the side toward the
trash cans. The smell of beer hit her, this didn't smell like a few
cans, and since she was there, she hadn't seen any beer in the house.
Only way that would happen is if it was brought in. Lexie went over
and lifted the lid. She must have really rushed to get the evidence
out of the cabin, they were all in one can. She dropped the lid and
shook her head, at least they were put in the recycle bin.

Once she had
snowball in and the door locked she headed up stairs to bed. Jon had
tried to wait up for her but he was sound asleep being on stage must
have worn him out.

Lexie woke up, Jon
was still snoring. She slipped out from under Jon and headed to the
bathroom. She could hear Jakey and Romeo down in the kitchen when
she came down.

“Hey Guys, has
Snow been out yet?” She started a pot of coffee “Did you two
have fun last night with your sister?”

“Yeah Lexie,
we had a party.” Romeo said.

“Romey, we
weren't supposed to tell Lexie or Daddy.” Jake nudged him on his
shoulder.

“I forgot,”
Romeo's lip quivered.

“It's okay Romey.
I saw all the cans.” Lexie whispered.

“Oh.” Jake
finished his cereal. “We buried them in the other can.”

“Were you two up
late?” She got up to get her coffee.

“Yeah, Stephie
never makes us go to bed early like daddy does, she gave us ten
dollars to help her clean up. I did the dishes and didn't break any,
not even one.” Jake said proudly.

“Yeah, she said
she would take us to the mall today for the toy store. I wanted the
candy store, but she said just the toy store.” Romeo drank the
remaining milk out of his bowl.

“Maybe your dad
and I can take you later this week.” She sipped her coffee and
sighed,

“Where are you
and I taking the Ro and Jake to?” He walked over to the coffee pot
and grimes

“Candy Land at
the mall.” She sipped her coffee and got up and pulled down the
coffee hotpot and poured the rest of her pot in. “They came into
some money recently and it's burning a hole in their pocket.”

“Let me make you
some sludge.” She laughed as she got to coffee filters back out.

“I'll make it, I
know what he likes.” Stephanie said. “You two have fun on your
double date?” She snickered.

Lexie poured
another cup and got a bowl from cereal. Okay princess firing a
shot on your little make believe kingdom. “Jake, great job on
the dishes” holding the bowl up and turned it to Jon to see how
clean it was. “Don't you agree Jon?”

Jon looked puzzled,
but by looking at Jake face and seeing his normally quiet son beaming
under Lexie praise. He took the bowl from Lexie and gave it a good
inspection.

“Hey Jake, great
job.” he said getting himself a bowl out and looking it over.
“Yeah that's a number one job.” He ruffled Jake hair as he
walked by.

Romeo started to
clear up his breakfast dishes and had Snows leash.

“I'll take Snow
out for you after she eats Lexie.”

“You know what
Ro, I want to go on a walk with your dad after he has his coffee and
breakfast, we'll take her.”

“Okay, can I be
scused then, Stephie will be ready for the mall when you are.”
Romeo gave her a big smile.

“Okay Ro.”
Stephanie yawned and fixed her a cup from Lexie's pot.

“They give you
any problem last night?” Jon asked her as he ate his cereal.

“Nope, not a
one.” she sipped her coffee.

Jon looked from
Lexie to Stephanie, Lexie shrugged her shoulders.

Jon fixed him a
travel cup of coffee as Lexie put Snow on her leash.

The made it out of
the garage Jon finally asked her what was up.

“What were your
instructions to your daughter about last night?” She casually asked
as they headed down the drive.

He gave her a funny
look.

“Does any of this
have to do with the boys pocket money and the fact that Jake did the
dishes?” Jon stopped in the middle of the drive.

“Yes, but we need
to walk a little further. Sort of away from the windows.” She let
Snows leash out a little more.

Jon followed her to
the area that has the trashcans.

“She wanted to
have Mark over, I told her okay, but he had to leave a eleven. You
know something?” he asked as they stopped as Snow sniffed the
cans.

“He smokes a lot.
The floral air freshener was over powering.” She laughed.

“Oh yeah, I told
her just him no one else.” Snowball did her business Jon turned his
back thinking about what she said and his blood pressure went up a
notch.

Lexie bagged the
poop and handed Jon the baggie and pointed him to the extra trashcan.
When Jon opened the lid it was full of beer cans. Jon stopped
counting at twelve.

“They had a
party, after I told her just Mark, son of a bitch, I bet he's the
reason I ended up on stage. That's strike three for the apple ass and
you get no more.” He turned around and started to storm into the
house, but Lexie stopped him.

“Jon, wait a
second, count to ten and take some deep breaths.” She pulled on the
tail of his jacket until he stopped. “The way you're going at this
he's the one you're mad at, he wasn't alone. Going in there mad and
making accusations will end up causing more problems. You have to
get her to give it up herself. Trick her into admitting it.”

“How do I do
that? He gritted his teeth.

“Follow my lead,
after all I am the literary writer in this duo.” She smiled and
gave an evil laugh that cause got Jon to laugh.

Mark needs to go away. I didn't like him from the first time he approached Stephanie. The guy is scum. Curious as to how Lexie is going to trick Stephanie into giving herself up. As for Mark. Your days are numbered asshole.
